			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Then Daily Mail writer James Delingpole can cater just for your needs!</p>
<p>Daily Mail is known for its pandering to a certain demographic and estimating that there are 6 billion immigrants living in England AT THIS VERY MOMENT IN TIME, and they are all out to steal YOUR job. Yes, you, the highly trained technician in a specialised job. But anyway, onto the article which gives away all its coming content in the title: &#8220;An A-Z guide to the PC madness blighting modern Britain&#8221;. That PC madness! I mean promoting tolerance and good nature towards each other, what fucking insanity!</p>
<p>Let us look at a few choice paragraphs:</p>
<blockquote><p>While the Crown Prosecution Service can always be relied on to prosecute you if you use racist language, show signs of homophobia or defend yourself against burglars breaking into your home, it appears hugely reluctant to bring cases against genuine criminals.</p></blockquote>
<p>Racism? Homophobia? Seriously injuring or killing other members of the human species? Forget that, go after the proper criminals! Blacks and Asians and those left-wing fucking hippies! I could imagine James frothing at the mouth in rage as sparks flew from his fingertips on the keyboard, I am actually very scared at this point to know what sort of fascist paradise James Delingpole would like this country to become. But this is just the tip of his insane, white, middle class only iceberg.</p>
<p>Let us move onto &#8220;D&#8221;, yes that&#8217;s right, Mr. Delingpole is going to take a pop at &#8220;Diversity&#8221;.</p>
<blockquote><p>It&#8217;s also why, if you apply for any kind of state funding for your church hall, cricket pavilion or bowling clubhouse, you won&#8217;t get it &#8211; because the people who would benefit don&#8217;t press the correct &#8216;diversity&#8217; buttons.</p></blockquote>
<p>This had me laughing quite a bit because it seems Mr. Delingpole can&#8217;t help but fall into the same old bigot stereotype. Everything is a conspiracy against the white middle class. I wouldn&#8217;t be surprised if he thought the British Empire was a good thing and would probably give me a good slap across the face for not saying &#8220;Great&#8221; in front of &#8220;Britain&#8221;. James doesn&#8217;t like all conspiracy theories though, oh no, only the ones that fall into his single minded hatred. For example&#8230;<span id="more-81"></span></p>
<blockquote><p>E IS FOR ENVIRONMENTALISM Bossy new-world religion based on the self-flagellating principle that unless we seriously inconvenience ourselves by giving up, or paying enormous taxes for the privilege of enjoying, all 21st-century comforts, from air travel to central heating, we will be personally responsible for destroying planet Earth.</p></blockquote>
<p>Global warming is a big fat lie! All the scientists are lying! This one is so predictably rubbish I&#8217;m not even going to bother to take it apart.</p>
<p>But it just gets worse and worse and worse:</p>
<blockquote><p>G IS FOR GERMANS, THE<br />
Supposedly our military allies. And now look at them. &#8216;Nein.</p>
<p>Ve cannot commit more zen five soldiers und a pea-shooter to Afghanistan &#8211; even though ve are members of Nato und ought to be damned grateful for ze privilege&#8217;.</p>
<p>And don&#8217;t even get me started on The French&#8230;</p></blockquote>
<p>Sad to think people actually think that is comedy. Jim Davidson anyone?</p>
<p>And on Ken Livingston:</p>
<blockquote><p>cuddling up to Left-wing reactionaries such as the Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez &#8211; a man who describes George Bush as being &#8216;like Hitler&#8217;?</p></blockquote>
<p>Now I don&#8217;t know if that would be a compliment judging on the views carried by James Delingpole. Himself and Hitler would probably get on quite well. But I assume it&#8217;s an insult based on the fact that Hitler was Austrian and therefore not English and therefore promoting diversity, THE SCUMBAG. Thank fuck for Hugo Chavez.</p>
<p>James goes on to say:</p>
<blockquote><p>Surely, the whole point of having been born in Britain, rather than, say, Kim II Sung&#8217;s North Korea, is that crackpot personality cults like this ought to be a distant nightmare?</p></blockquote>
<p>The irony inside that is killing me. Someone install some mirrors in Mr. Delingpole&#8217;s house.</p>
<p>The old Daily Mail favourite makes a comeback, with large stereotyping of Albanians all being gangsters.</p>
<blockquote><p>Immigration is spinning out of control and not even the Home Office has the faintest idea how many illegals have entered the country but, at last, the Government has a plan.</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>you can just imagine those Albanians saying. &#8220;I was planning on coming to England to set up a new gangster network.</p></blockquote>
<p>James Delingpole even kindly makes a list of people who now have victim groups, he also kindly makes it obvious he plainly doesn&#8217;t like them.</p>
<blockquote><p>women, ethnic minorities, the disabled, non-Christians, the elderly and homosexuals.</p></blockquote>
<p>Thankfully Mr. Delingpole describes himself in a small sentence that surprisingly and honestly sums him up.</p>
<blockquote><p>I&#8217;m stupid and easily led.</p></blockquote>
<p>Yes James! You are! And so is your whole reader base! Thank you for that, saves me a lot of trouble. Please feel pity for James, and those Daily Mail readers shouting along with him. However, most of all, feel pity for the state of British journalism.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=437732&amp;in_page_id=1770">a link</a> to the article, have a good laugh.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello again, was going to post this around a month ago, but things happened.</p>
<p>The Incitement to Religious Hatred Bill last year created a lot of controversy on what could be said and what couldn&#8217;t. Anyone who has there finger on the pulse of what insane laws parliament tries pass through should know all about this one. However, I&#8217;m not here to rant about what is good and what is bad but to rather show you two things related to this bill or created in direct response to it.</p>
<p>The first is a rather good debate held at the Guardian Hay Festival last year on blasphemy between warmonger Christopher Hitchens and insanely articulate Stephen Fry. (Maybe I&#8217;ve let my allegiances show a bit early here, but Mr Hitchens does make a good point, maybe two)<br />
Anyway you can download the whole thing <a href="http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/culturevulture/Blasphemy.mp3">by clicking here</a>. It&#8217;s 78mins long, but just to hear the speech/rant at the end from Stephen is worth the whole download.</p>
<p>The second thing you should have looked at when it was on was comedian Stewart Lee&#8217;s &#8220;Don&#8217;t Get Me Started&#8221;. A very funny one off about blasphemy that is also very intelligent at the same time, but expect nothing less from the seasoned funnyman. You can only find it on youtube now but take a look anyway by <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jn2NMzb0OXU">clicking here</a> That is the first part of 6 parts, so make sure you look at all of them.</p>
<p>Enjoy.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I shall be bringing highly opinionated rants to microplop. Which in my opinion is a rubbish name for a site. Expect mind bending, revolutionary writing that will make you slightly interested in things, such as:</p>
<ul>
<li>Battery types.</li>
<li>Cardboard packaging.</li>
<li>Paper Weights.</li>
<li>Book ends.</li>
<li>The many different colours of post-it notes.</li>
</ul>
<p>I am not liable for any deaths from boredom. Enjoy.</p>
